TO'ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN y y Be it known that I, L. L. NEWMAN, of Jaekson,.in the county of Jackson, and State of Michigan,` have invented :i new and useful machine, entitled u Washing-Machine und I do hereby declare that the following is :i full, elcur, nml exact description of 'the construction and operation of the sume, reference being had to the :mnexefl drawings, making a pzirtof this specification, in which-'- The Figure is a side view of the washing machine with portions cnt away to show the internal parts.

A represents n qnndrnngular box with u. portion of the side cut ah'ay und atE is shown the orilice through l l whieh the square shft is passed through the side ofthe box, the rounded part of the shaft resting in the circular pui-t ol' the orifice; and ai; the opposite side oi' the box is a. circuler bearing for theshpft; to this shaft, external to the box, is attached the erm B, the lower ond of which is made large to increase the weight, which serves to regulate the motion and tu the top of this arm is n. handle, g, to which the power is applied. i The shaft `passes through the pieeesD on either-side of thelmuchine; :1nd near the top of these pieces nreljoihtocl to them tho rails C C, two on euch side.- These mils are fastened together bythe cross-bersrnenr the lower ends are secured linge rollers, s, which rest on the bottom, and a series of smnller rollers, n n, which several rollers` exleznl from side to side. On ther-ight of the figure n portion of the ruil is eut nwny to show the rollers; the rollers are otherwise shown by dots. F represents Ya. side-heard, which, with the corresponding board on the opposite side, is attached together by the cross-hers m m; this forms a frame which supports the rollers o a; und nemthe betteln of this frame are iollers, .s s, whieh7 resting on the bottoni, give support to theframc and l rollers. Near the centre of this frame is a. roll, c, which works within n. slot ofthe piece D, nml by which motion i is given to the frame. The cross-bars, r, should he weighted to give sufficient pressure ngninst the clothing while being washed, or n spring muy bc used for the purpose.4

I Operation. V i

After the sluis :tre put into the box, the `peri'. C `on either sifle is raised, and the articles to bc washed nrc put on the surfaces of the rollers of the part F; the Imrl. C is then lowered, resting against the articles. The hand being applied to the erm B, iheiwo sets of rollers on either side are brought together, or,`rn.thcr, made to approach each other alternately, pressing and rubbing the clothing between them. The'movcment is such that when the outer set of rollers approaches the inner, the outer mises somewhat on the' inner rollers, which move nient revolves the clothing slightly on each movement of thc arm. i Y Y Whnt I claim ns my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-I i The combination of the parts C Gand F with their several rollers, pieces D, the Bhaft,`|,nd box A, when :r1-ranged nml operated. substantially as described. i
